Owen Spafford and support from Stella Prince

Join us in the idyllic settings of St Paul Church gardens for an evening of the finest fiddle tunes with acclaimed and highly sought after musician Owen Spafford

Owen Spafford is a fiddle player and composer from Leeds who has performed for the leaders of the commonwealth states, toured with Giffords Circus and has received a scholarship to study composition at the Royal Academy of Music. His installation ‘Welcome Here, Kind Stranger’ has been performed at the Rainy Days festival in Luxembourg alongside Sam Amidon, Brighde Chaimbeul and Annabelle Blott and at SeptemberMe festival in the Netherlands. Owen is also an All-Britain Fiddle Champion in the Fleadh Cheoil na Breataine and BBC Young Composer Competition nominee. Equally at home in a traditional session as he is in a free improvisation workshop, Spafford's understanding of the oral tradition and love for vernacular music from around the world enables an inventive and thoughtful musical style.

Woodstock-raised, Nashville-honed, & Laurel Canyon inspired, 20-year-old Stella Prince creates soul-baring pop-infused folk for a new generation.

“Like those in her lineage, including Joan Baez, Karen Carpenter, Judy Collins, Emmylou Harris and Joni Mitchell, [Prince is] anticipating star-making success to proceed her turning 21 while living at the pace of her dreams.”
